Hubby is in OK right now, had a job interview yesterday (all day). It resulted in him being offered the position last night, at the same salary he's making here in NJ!!

Needless to say, we are very happy. He has to be there in two weeks to start, so I'll be supervising the moving here and driving down to OK with two hormonally challenged teenagers, a PU truck, car, and a dog. OK where we come!!

BTW, this should be very encouraging for you IT people out there.

Thanks to all of you. I guess this move to OK was just meant to be!

CONGRATS to Mr. Colleen!
(You never told us his name.)

And she thought she was going to get to OK before you!
(Make sure you show this to him!)

That isn't just good news, that is FANTASTIC news! Getting his NJ wages in OK should keep you quite comfortable. (At least it worked that way for us!)

My Hubby likes to say that now he earns half what he did in CA, but has twice as much to spend. Our utility bills really are half what we paid out there.

Congrats!! Come *HOME* soon.

Thumbs up Good for you!!

Colleen, that is GREAT news! The same wages as NJ - even better! Put those 2 hormonally challenged teens to work for you. They can burn up some of that energy. (Hope your wrist is better).

As soon as DH (Doug) gets back from OK (he's currently stranded in Memphis due to weather in Philly), I'll remind him of the fact that I was supposed to go first
